Yazidi Soldier Places Makeshift Cross Atop Church Destroyed By ISIS

Near the front lines of the fight against ISIS, a Yazidi soldier fashioned a makeshift cross out of two boards and planted it on the remains of a destroyed church in Sinjar. It was a beautiful act of solidarity with Christian neighbors who used to live here.
